I am new to the site as a member but I’ve read through many posts throughout all my dark times. This will be my first and only post. It is my way of saying good bye. I cannot handle the pain any more. Ever since I was 12 I’ve thought of suicide. Each year that goes by it gets stronger, darker, and harder to cope with. Now that I am almost finished with college, I have realized how unfit I am for this life. The stress, the expectations, I just can’t do it. I’m such a shitty waste of space and a burden to everyone around me. Now that my girlfriend has left me, I feel no obligation to stay. I never deserved her and she’ll be so much better off without me in her life and without me in the world. The pain has caused me to be self-destructive for so many years and it costs me everything i care about. All I’ve done the last month is waste away, crying and thinking of all the different ways I can die. I do not know why I am unable to go through with it. It’s pathetic how I wish for death every day and obsess over it but can’t get the job done. Maybe it’s because I needed to share my thoughts with people who understand and won’t try to make me get more help. I’ve been through plenty of therapy and medication, and it does nothing to ease the pain. I’m tired of being a burden, I’m tired of suffering, and I think this week is where I finally go to sleep forever. I thank you for listening to my final thoughts, I apologize if it sounds whiny or disorganized, and I wish you all the best whether you are in the same boat as me or have found a way out of the hell they call depression. Good bye

you are a beautiful human being for staying strong as long as you have. Im all ears for you. I don’t want to say goodbye, we haven’t even said hello
My mom tried to commit suicide when I was 16. My dad tried it several time, but never did. I thought about suicide for years, stuck in my dead-end job, and never thought my life would amount to anything. Does this seem familiar? If so, then why am I still alive?
I will let you know. I found out that there are some things worth dying for. And guess what? My own happiness wasn’t it. I realized that if I died, I wouldn’t be happy. I realized that if I died protecting my friends and family, doing what I think is best, that would make me happy. If you feel like your life isn’t worth anything, then at least make your death worth something. I know people risk their lives everyday to save others. If I happen to die while I am saving someone else, then so be it. I am happy to risk my life to save others. That’s what keeps me alive.
Why not stay?
Hi Anon, if you’ve read this site you know how much it helps to talk things out. Heck, if you plan on leaving this life why not unload everything before you go? I hope you can stick around.
Anon, don’t waste your life by taking it away, if you want to end your life, end your life like a hero, a hero that would be remembered by doing good deeds and die with honor. I’m not on the same shoe as you have right now but maybe, going to some place far away from home and exploring outside the box would be the best way to escape the pain and not death.
This post had such an impact on me. It is so similar to how I feel.
We’re in the same exact boat my friend, if you’re still well and alive, read this comment and understand to get rid of the EVIL in your life rather than the BEAUTY inside of you. I have to remember that so much throughout the day and yes feeling like this everyday is Hell but sometimes in your darkest of times.. You’ll find the light. Just stop looking in the same places, go explore. 🙂
I know how that feels. If you are certain about your decision, then there is nothing we can do. However, I wish you try to minimize the pain everyone around you will go through.
I am currently working to leave things in order. Make it the least painful to my family. A family whose only fault is loving a miserable me. In the end, its not their fault I became this way.
My friend, I really hope you get to read this, and I hope you stay strong until you stop breathing.
